Employees greatly benefit from interacting with more emotionally intelligent managers. ​It has been demonstrated in numerous research studies that employees’ adherence to (or compliance with) management, individual and team job performance, and overall desire to excel past static job descriptions (Organizational Citizenship Behavior) is strongly influenced by their relationship with their manager, which in turn pivots on a manager’s emotional intelligence. - Michael R. Frazier

​The #1 Reason People Quit

“People don't quit a job,​— they quit a bad manager.”

​That old adage continues to ring true, even as a talent drought is affecting most organizations and retention of right-fit talent is becoming critical to maintain quality, revenue, moral, and business continuity.​In fact, bad bosses are the number one reason people quit.

Enhancing EQ in the workplace has two very practical benefits to leaders/managers:• For an organization, encouraging emotional intelligence leads to better collaboration and creates a happier, healthier, and more dynamic operation.​•​ The manager who can understand what stimuli 'pushes his/her buttons’ or creates anxiety can learn to harness those emotions, control them, and use to create more positive outcomes. Being able to interpret and respond appropriately to the emotions of others makes a manager more effective, builds camaraderie among workers and forges stronger client connections.

​Peter Salovey and Jack Mayer coined the term “Emotional Intelligence” in 1990; subsequently Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and science journalist with the New York Times popularized the concept with his 1995 best seller 'Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ'.
